Deluxe editions have been $70-$80 for a while now, even since last gen.

Some are even $100.

I'll stick with my thing of only buying the game three years after release, fully patched, all DLC, $10 or less.

Ugh and only three years after the jump to $70

Only if you insist on physical though. I do wonder if this will become common... that if you really want physical you have to buy the 'deluxe' version.

Also this game wasn't going to have a physical release until the Bear Sex thing blew it up.

That's what I'm expecting. And then the digital storefronts will have an excuse to raise their prices to $80, namely that they can't undercut their retail partners. And so we'll get $80 releases there too with everything a digital deluxe edition where they jack the price up $10 and give you a couple of wallpapers or a digital art book. I still remember how quickly the rest of the industry followed suit when 2k increased the price of NBA 2k to $70.

I can see you don't play any Nintendo games

Still $60 almost 7 years after release

Also the $20 Playstation games seem to be dying off. Sale prices for old stuff are $30 now. Eg see Sekiro which is almost five years old. The $5 PSN games are already dead unless it's indie crap. You gotta get really old, like Horizon Zero Dawn from early 2017 to get to $20 these days.

- No, definitely no Nintendo games, and honestly I'm exclusively a PC Gamer but since there is so much overlap between PS5/Xbox/PC on game releases I'm kinda everywhere.

Nintendo is like the Apple of videogames, they have their diehards in a walled garden and everyone seems to be happy there, so I let them be.

Baldur's Gate 3 is one of my rare exceptions that I happily paid full price for (on PC of course)
The previous game I did that for was also from Larian, Divinity: Original Sin 2. That one I bought on both PS4 and eventually, PC (for mods).

I paid $70 for Super Mario RPG in 1996. They've been $70 for a long while. Collectors/Limited/Ultimate editions have routinely been $100+ for over a decade.
